† Voting in the upcoming Election: I don’t think there is a
thinking person in the USA who finds the decision on who to
vote for in the upcoming election a difficult experience.
Difficult because the candidates both present to us
personalities that get under our skin and platforms that rankle
our consciences. I am reminded of the people of Israel who
had been conquered by Babylon and carted off into exile to
that foreign land by King Nebuchadnezzar only to be freed
some years later by the Persian King Cyrus. Cyrus was a pagan
but he freed the people and allowed them to return to the
promised land and even sent along funds to help rebuild the
destroyed Temple. God actually worked through that pagan
king. And the Prophets say as much. God can work through
the candidate of ill repute. There is one value that is up for
grabs in this election that has not gotten a lot of attention in
the vitriol of our two candidates. This the issue that
undergirds all others and is vastly qualitatively more serious.
It is a value that is not just kind of more important...it is
absolutely more important. If one of our candidates were to
say that immigrants who come to America and takes jobs thus
denying me a livelihood ought to be executed for that crime...
how could you support such a candidate? If one of our
candidates were to say that people of color who are able to
get ahead of white candidates in a college selection process
because of affirmative action ought to be executed because I
am being denied my right to a good education...how could
we support that candidate? Yes there is a platform in this
election that is doing just that. Its just that the perpetrator is a
baby and the injustice, someone is being denied convenience
or comfort. St. Teresa of Kolkata (Mother Teresa) told us we
were truly a poor country that could not afford to take care
of the most vulnerable. She who knew real poverty called us
poor. Our country is going to pot on the heels of having
given up the protection of the most vulnerable human beings
in the world...the unborn. Recently people were scandalized
by the mom who threw her just-born baby out a second floor
apartment window. Why should there be such a reaction...yet
no reaction from the media or the population at large when
that same baby could have been easily and legally ripped
from its mothers womb, its brains sucked out and its little
body cut up for so much fetal matter to be used in some thirst
to cure a disease. I know there may very well be a woman
reading this article who has had an abortion in their past. The
Lord is so merciful that even your sin can be forgiven. But it
takes courage to face the truth of what you did and come to
seek forgiveness and healing in the Sacrament of
Reconciliation. Forgiveness and healing is ready for you in the
confessional. No priest will condemn you. The real sadness is
that women are scarred for life by the choice of abortion. No
one in the pro abortion — Prochoice world cares to hear of
this emotional trauma, but the Catholic Church knows it is
there and it stands with you in your pain and wants you to
know, you are loved by this wonderful merciful God.

FIRST RECONCILIATION: A First Confession Retreat and Practice for second graders and parents will be held Sunday, November 6th at 1:00 p.m. at church. First Confession will be Sunday, November 13th at 1:00 p.m.
In Nebraska another item on the ballot is the Death Pen-
alty. Our Bishops and our Popes since Saint Pope John
Paul II have taught that in this society, with our ability to
protect society, the choice of death for even heinous
crimes is not justified. I have had the privilege of meeting
people who have every reason to seek death for the per-
petrator of a crime that took the life of one of their
loved ones...and I have seen them speak of the value of
letting go and not seeking revenge. Read your Catholic
Voice on this issue and learn why the church has the
stand it does on this issue.
† Wednesday Confessions: The KC’s have moved their
meeting time in the winter and this will make the Fourth
Wednesday Confession time difficult. I do want to at-
tend their meetings if at all possible. I am holding more
meetings for various reasons and this is making the
Wednesday confession schedule more and more prob-
lematic. I am studying the issue and starting to think of
some other options. One is: 5:30 pm-6:00 pm Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday. I do want to offer more times
for confession. So, I am thinking about this...right now, I
have made no decision.
† Holy Days Coming: Tuesday, Nov. 1 is All Saints Day.
Masses are 7:00 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 31, 8:05 a.m. on
Tuesday, Nov. 1 and 7:00 p.m., Tuesday, Nov. 1. All
Souls Day we will have two masses: 8:05 a.m. and 7:00
pm. 7:00 p.m. is the Mass when we do some special re-
membrances of all those who have been buried from our
Church this past year.
† Special Remembrance of the Dead: We are going to
place two tables in the Sanctuary for you to place the
pictures of the deceased in your family that you want to
remember. Bring these pictures on All Saints Day. The
pictures must be framed in some way, no bigger than
5X7, and able to stand up on their own. Please put your
name on them so they can be returned if your forget to
pick them up. These pictures will form a kind of Family
Portrait of our Parish, Members who have gone before us
marked with the sign of faith. We will leave these up in
church and ask that you take the pictures home on Sun-
day, Nov. 13. During this time we will have candles
burning for the ones who have died this past year. Fam-
ily members can take this candle home on Nov. 13th.
